Driving!!!

Our oldest boy, Parker is 16 years old, and officially behind the wheel. Scary to say the least! It is difficult knowing that your kids are growing up, and even worse when you know you are trusting them behind the wheel of a dangerous machine. One thing I have found to help us make it though this process is the free book written by MetLife® Auto & Home and reviewed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) which outlines routine driving skills into lessons parents can teach their teen.

How to Change a Frog Into a Prince

As a mom to 6 boys, I absolutely LOVE this poem! It captures the role of raising a boy so well:

How to Change a Frog Into a Prince
by Anna Denise

Start with the underwear. Sit him down.

Hopping on one leg may stir unpleasant memories.

If he gets his tights on, even backwards, praise him.

Fingers, formerly webbed, struggle over buttons.

Arms and legs, lengthened out of proportion, wait,as you do, for the rest of him to catch up.

This body, so recently reformed, reclaimed,still carries the marks of its time as a frog.

Be gentle. Avoid the words awkward and gawky.

Do not use tadpole as a term of endearment.

His body, like his clothing, may seem one size too big.Relax.

There's time enough for crowns. He'll grow into it.
